I do like the Beatles contrasting songs Money Can't Buy You Love and Give Me Money, but the song that pops in my head is "Easy Money" by King Crimson...
quote:
EASY MONEY
King Crimson
Your admirers on the street
Gotta hoot and stamp their feet
In the heat from your physique
As you twinkle by in moccasin sneakers
And I thought my heart would break
When you doubled up at the stake
With your fingers all a-shake
You could never tell a winner from a snake
but you always make money
Easy money
With your figure and your face
Strutting out at every race
Throw a glass around the place
Show the colour of your crimson suspenders
We would take the money home
Sit around the family throne
My old dog could chew his bone
For two weeks we could appease the Almighty
Easy money
Got no truck with the la-di-da
Keep my bread in an old fruit jar
Drive you out in a motor-car
Getting fat on your lucky star just making
Easy money.

I don't know of any band that has evolved as much as KC, always with Robert Fripp (guitar) at the center of the hub, the line-up of musicians frequently changes.
Although I personally like it all, I've enjoyed very much KC from when Adrian Belew joined, starting with Disipline, a definate classic. But you might want to check out some of the latest stuff in Happy With What You Have to be Happy With...

I like Eyes Wide Open on that one a lot.

Their new recording you are here is good. More mellow then I expected and has the son of legandary Led Zep drummer behind the drum kit.

Jason Bonham, huh?
I loved his dad's work, a most amazing drummer. Go Bonzo!

I'm still mourning the loss of Rush. When they started relying on synth horns to get big sounds, something in me sorta died.
Same goes for Yes. Although I dearly loved 90120 or whatever, I loved it by sheer force of will.
Both bands were at their peak when they did more with less. When they ignored trends and instead relied on their unique talents and creativity, that's when they built the music that still haunts me.
Both bands sorta lost their songwriting abilities and filled in the gaps with studio overproduction and lots of sound. Their attempts at "comeback" are morbid instead of joyous. The overproduction compliments them as funeral makeup does a corpse.

I guess Rush had a song called "Big Money" but I don't know it due to aforementioned reasons.
Apparently Yes had a song called "Money", but I'm not sure if I heard that one either...
quote:
Money high, money low
Money come , money go.
’don*t worry me
’don*t worry me
(money don*t buy)
The things that we like, the things that we love
The things that we have, so high above
Don*t bother me
(it doesn*t even matter to you)
Don*t bother me
(money doesn*t grow on trees)
Just don*t worry!
Now listen!
Suns do shine, moons do glow
Simplicity everyone knows
Don*t hurry me
(i*m in the middle of a dream)
Don*t hurry me
(it*s not at all the way it seems)
Now!
Money so high, money so low
Money to count, money to go
It won*t be there where I go
(where is that you*re going to? )
It won*t be there where I go
(where is that you*re going to? )
Just won*t be there
No way!
[...screw anything you can... and i*m trying
To do that with the country...]
Do wop...
Da da da...
BTW, KC is only old band that I can think of that is better now than ever. Maybe that's because of their fluid uncrystalized nature...

One of my favorite King Crimson songs is "Dig Me".
Did you ever buy "Thrak", there's some good lovin' on that record.
Following your link, I'm blown back by the fact that there's new Crimson I've never heard! What a great position to be in. I've got virgin Crimson in my future! I feel rich.
Is the new music as good as 1981's Discipline? Yes, I had to ask THAT question. I bet they bristle against having made the benchmark against which everything else they ever produce must be measured. Most music gets compared to other bands. Crimson can only compete with themselves.

"dig me, but don't, bury me"
You are rich, I'd say because I've really enjoyed some newer stuff. Remember Walking on Air from THRAK?
Heard Eyes Wide Open from The Power to Believe?
I'm just finding the later from 2003!!
